Cisneros v. DRI Commercial Corp.
Leroy Cisneros sued DRI Commercial Corporation and Bill Leinenweaver for false imprisonment, civil rights violations (Civ. Code, 51.7, 52.1), and intentional infliction of emotional distress arising out of an incident on a picket line. Defendants are appealing from the order denying their motion to strike the first amended complaint under the anti-SLAPP statute. (Code Civ. Proc., 425.16.) The issues are whether Leinenweaver made a citizens arrest of plaintiff, and, if so, whether the arrest was activity protected under the anti SLAPP law. It appears from the limited record before us that a citizens arrest transpired, and Court hold that such an arrest does not qualify as protected activity. Based on these conclusions, Court affirm the order denying the motion to strike.
